Fig. 1 a-b represents the master of the design of measurement mechanism according to an embodiment of the invention to look synoptic diagram, and (Fig. 1 a) and schematic side view (1b);
Fig. 2-the 3rd is used to explain the synoptic diagram of the operation of measurement mechanism shown in Figure 1;
Fig. 4-5 expression is used to explain the chart of the calibration of method of the present invention and measurement mechanism shown in Figure 1.
Embodiment
Fig. 1 a and 1b only are that (Fig. 1 a) and the synoptic diagram of the design of the measurement mechanism of the present invention of side view (Fig. 1 b) expression with front view.
Device shown in Figure 1 has thermal source 20, and it is configured to Halogen lamp LED in the exemplary embodiment, and (infrared) thermometer 10 that is supported by support 15.Although following heating uses Halogen lamp LED to carry out as thermal source, the present invention is not so limited.Therefore, according to further embodiment (not shown), it also is possible using infrared lamp, incandescent lamp, lasing light emitter or using fan or controlled hot hair dryer to carry out contactless heating.
In exemplary embodiment shown in Figure 1, a part that forms the Halogen lamp LED of thermal source 20 is supported on the support 25, and support 25 (for example using screw) is fixed on the shell of motor 50 of exemplary embodiment.The axle 35 of motor 50 connects 36 by screw and nut and is fixed on rotatable dish or the screen 30, and this dish or screen 30 have opening 40 so that light and/or heat are passed through, and dish or screen 30 are not penetrable for heat and/or light (at least in fact).
According to Fig. 2, thermometer 10 is made into the temperature that makes on its sample surfaces that can measure the sample 60 that exceeds rotatable dish or screen 30, typically, and has the interval of several centimetres (for example 5-20 centimetres) between the measured surface.
Be objectively or do not rely on the color and the transmission performance on surface separately that in order to ensure measurement in advance detected sample 60 is carried out homogenizing or surface treatment of being fit to, all after this samples have consistent color attribute and surface structure.For example, the heat-conducting cream that can buy on the market, (papery) paster with suitable transmission performance (preferably low reflection coefficient) or adhesive tape, suitable liquid (for example having the inferior light black of two parts of volumes and the isopropyl alcohol of a volume) or carbon black fine particle (for example being stored on the polytetrafluoroethylene filter (Teflonfilters)) can both be used for surface separately for this purpose.
Below with reference to Fig. 4 and Fig. 5 a-d, to the explanation that makes an explanation of the quantification of the mensuration of the contact temperature for material to be detected of the present invention and/or the temperature sensation that contacts with relevant surfaces.
In the example of method of the present invention, use Fig. 1 a-b and device shown in Figure 2 that relevant surfaces is carried out PULSE HEATING, especially, for the purpose of calibrating installation, at first carry out PULSE HEATING for a series of reference sample (so-called " impression contact sample (sensotact samples) ").Each reference sample comprises different material (such as expandable polystyrene (Styropor), wood, teflon or aluminium) mutually.
Heating by recurrent pulses obtains based on the opening on dish or the screen 30 40 herein, dish or screen 30 rotate in Fig. 1 a-b and device shown in Figure 2, and the generation feature saw-toothed curve " A " consistent with Fig. 4 be to " E ", is used for (identified as samples is called 0,20,50,70 contacts sample with 100 the impression that is used to calibrate) to measure time dependent temperature.In this example, pulse can be selected, only as an example, and as can be with the frequency record measured value of 1Hz.
According to Fig. 4, these saw-toothed curves at first are used for the slope that (the measurement curve of the temperature that changes by relative time) calculates the tropic, and next is used to calculate because the amplitude of the decline curve of each " vibration " that PULSE HEATING produces.
Coefficient of comparisons (comparative coefficient) vl is calculated as follows by average amplitude value and slope value:
vl = 1 m · a - - - ( 1 ) ,
M represents the slope of the tropic, and a represents the average amplitude of decline curve.
In addition, that reference that is used to calibrate or impression contact sample have is different, known thermal break-through coefficient b value respectively, and thermal break-through coefficient b is defined as follows:
b = q 0 π · d t d θ O - - - ( 2 ) ,
